Ninety-one first year students registered in the University of Vigo (academic year 2012-2013) participated in the recording of the techno-autobiographies. In September 2012, students from two degree programs from the Faculty of Education Sciences also joined the study. These were students of Technological Resources in Social Education and New Technologies Applied to Pre-School Education (from the Social Education and Pre-School Education degrees respectively). There were 79 females and 12 males aged between 18 and 46 years (Table 1), whose average age was 21 years. The number of female participants was by far higher than male participants. This is because education studies in Spain are mostly chosen by female students.
